reviewed Snap Judgment: When to Trust Your Instincts, When to Ignore Them, and How to Avoid Making Big Mistakes with Your Money on April 26, 2010 Snap Judgment: When to Trust Your Instincts, When to Ignore Them, and How to Avoid Making Big Mistakes with Your Money
Why analysis, not instinct, is best for complex decision making
From CEOs to private investors, people tend to place far too much emphasis on their own instincts when making decisions, even though the results are often disastrous. Behavioral economist David E. Adler examines why people make life-altering decisions based on intuition, habit, gut feelings, urges or snap judgments instead of using analytical reasoning, a far better tool for complex decision making. In this absorbing, eminently readable book, Adler offers many fascinating case histories that demonstrate the dangers of intuitive thinking. After weighing the evidence carefully, getAbstract finds that investors, managers and other decision makers will certainly benefit from reading his report.
